CHLOROMYCETIN EAR DROPS 5ML

CHLOROMYCETIN EAR DROPS 5ML belongs to a group of medicines called 'antibiotics' used to reduce pain and discomfort associated with an ear infection (bacterial). Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp, constant, or may come and go.

CHLOROMYCETIN EAR DROPS 5ML is a combination drug containing: Chloramphenicol (antibiotic) and Benzocaine (local anaesthetic). Chloramphenicol works by interfering with the formation of essential proteins required for bacterial growth.
